And another issue is that many may want their employer to drop the coverages. Why? Because, if you have group coverage at work, you cannot go thru an exchange, thus you cannot get a subsidy-and if you were in an exchange, it might be cheaper for you to go on your own. Employers pay a percentage of their employees health bennies, but they do not typically extend that to family members.

by the same token, younger, single people do not benefit from exchanges as health insurers are changing from five age bands to three, so younger buyers will be lumped into a group with a higher age, thus higher prices.
